ID

Material number

 

Name

Material name

 

Type

Material type

 

Code

Standard material specifications

 

Code Name

Specific material specifications

 

Elasticity(Force/Area)

Modulus of Elasticity

 

Poisson

Poisson's ratio

 

Thermal(1/[T])

Thermal expansion coefficient

 

Density(Force/Volume)

Weight per unit volume

 

Sp. Heat

The ratio of thermal energy required to raise the temperature of a body 1° to the thermal energy required to raise an equal mass of water 1°

 

Heat Conduction (BTU/Length•Time•[T] : Conduction Coefficient
The property of a material to conduct heat in the form of thermal energy.
Conduction is the process by which heat flows within a medium or between different mediums in direct contact. The energy is transmitted by molecular communication.

 

Material Type

Select Isotropic or Orthotropic material type

 

NOTE.png 
If SRC materials are entered, RC data are saved in the Code2 and Code Name 2 fields.

NOTE.png 
When Orthotropic is selected as User Defined material type, (Elastic_y, Elastic_z), (Poission_y, Poassion_z) and (Thermal_y, Thermal_z) can be separately defined in y & z direction of Element Coordinate System.
